The phrase time flies, is so true.
Of course I am hoping that the the phrase 'as you get older time goes more quickly' is not connected with the first one.
anyway....
I can't believe how quickly time has flown, this year for school is nearly over, and that means that Alex will have two years at Bowie with out his brother, and I am sure in many ways he will love it, but for me, it always seems harder when they are not together, they have been together so often on this journey of childhood. Being only 18 months apart, they have been very close, although the gap between them seems bigger in the last year, 6th graders and 8th graders have very different outlooks on life in this house!!
I am enjoying my time as a parent, it has some very tough moments for sure, but the variety and the laughs, the emotions good and bad, the unconditional love that we as a family have is so wonderful.
Not every moment is blissful for sure, but every moment is real, and we still all come together for a meal each day and laugh, discuss and debate. I miss my older two not always being around, but when they are, meal times are a riot. I love that they do come home and chill here. I am know I have been far from perfect as a mother, but somehow we have all managed to survive being a family. I am sure it is eating together every day that makes a big difference.
